A Chieftain of the All Progressives Congress in Delta State, Comrade (Chief) Ovuozourie Samuel Macaulay, the Okiroro of Isoko Nation, has said that President Bola Ahmed Tinubu, is propelling Nigeria towards renewal.
Macaulay, stated this in his congratulatory statement to President Tinubu on his one year in office anniversary.
He said; “Looking back and reflecting on the journey so far, I believe that the more Nigerians are able to understand the ‘whys’ behind the ‘whats’, the easier it will be to connect the dots between the vision and its outcomes, President Bola Ahmed Tinubu has embarked on to reset and remake Nigeria.
“I assure you that, President Tinubu is resolutely focused on policies and actions that will attract long-term local and foreign investments to Nigeria, knowing that every naira and dollar of new investment in the country means new jobs, increased productivity for local consumption and for export, and much-needed economic growth.
“For these investments to happen, the business environment must be conducive. This is what is fueling the painstaking rebuilding of the credibility and capacity of the Central Bank. It is also why we have extensive tax and fiscal reforms ongoing, to reduce the burden on businesses.”
Macaulay, who was the former Secretary to Delta State Government, further stated that; “President Bola Ahmed Tinubu is focused on policies and programs that provide direct and targeted economic relief and benefits to the pockets and livelihoods of Nigerians, by way of grants, education loans, food and fertilizer distribution, cash transfers, health insurance, and consumer credit.
“The President understands that desirable developmental outcomes often require a temporary period of pain and adjustment. He seizes every opportunity to be seen and heard asking for the understanding of the Nigerian people.
“He wants to build a Nigeria that is confident and competitive on the global stage. Because of this, we can no longer afford certain ways of doing things. We must push past the false comfort of certain ingrained habits and practices, and endure inevitable but temporary discomfort, because we are certain that ahead of us lies lasting reward.”
